Commentary On The Epistles Of St John Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Commentary on the Epistles of St. John Dr. Liicke has given a German version of St. John's Epistles, along with his Commentary: the Translator perceived that justice could not be done to the Doctor's work, without translating this version: it is a version of such a Greek text as Dr. Liicke has deliberately adopted, and is also in conformity with the interpretation given in the Commentary. It is, in many instances, much more clear and perspicuous than the ver sion of the English Bible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The First Epistle General of St. John: A Devotional Commentary Each of these embodies not merely the ripest results of scholarship, but, what is even more valuable in the interpretation of St. John's writings, a profoundly spiritual apprehension of the teaching of the beloved disciple.

Excerpt from Biblical Commentary on the Epistles of St. John: In Continuation of the Work of Olshausen; With an Appendix on the Catholic Epistles, and an Introductory Essay on the Life and Writings of St. John Three of our Lord's Apostles stand out prominently from the general circle: St John, St Peter, and St Paul. The last was not in the number of the Twelve. Among them St James, the son of Zebedee and brother of St John, had been singled out by Christ to be the companion of St John and St Peter in the special distinction of witnessing His transfiguration and His deepest humiliation (mark v. 37 Matt. Xvii. 1, xxvi. 37) but St James soon followed his Master in a death of martyrdom (acts xii. And on that account is less known to us than the rest.

Excerpt from A Commentary on the First Epistle of St. John: In the Form of Addresses The translation is in parts very free, for the author's brilliant oratory has often made it quite impossible to give an adequate equivalent in English. A few notes have been added, as also the references, where quotations from the Bible occur. I would earnestly commend the reader's atten tion to two points in the author's preface: firstly, that the character of the Epistle necessitates a certain amount of repetition in a commentary upon it; and secondly, that the Bible text should be repeatedly referred to while reading the com mentary. My sincere thanks are due to the Rev. G. H. Box, of Merchant Taylors' School, for having carefully revised the proof-sheets, and for having offered many valuable suggestions.

Excerpt from The Gospel, Epistles, and Revelation of St. John: Edited, With an Introduction and Notes The application of this principle to the present case seems to follow naturally from what has already been said. St. John's work is a gospel: accordingly, like the other gospels, it will be made up of the the Acts and Sayings of Jesus. But its prologue has set forth a very special pur pose for the narrative the support of a theological position. In accordance with this we find, as a fact, that the 'acts of Jesus become in St. John's narrative 'signs, ' and the 'sayings' are all of the nature of 'witness.' From this point of view the work falls into natural divisions: seven incidents constitute the Earlier Signs and Witness of Jesus, seven more his Signs and Witness to the Jews; four divisions comprise the Signs and Witness among his own Disciples, and the three phases of the final Passion and Resurrection history may again be treated as Signs and Witness.
